Good luck with your goals! 
My year is going well so far, despite the world burning down around us. Getting involved in different things. Meeting new people and enjoying myself even though I'm really busy.
I already started reading again and watching cool films this weekend. My hope is to keep this going next week too!
Happy and having a good time. Hope all of you comrades are well too!
Hell yeah, what books/movies are we talking about?
Typical Hexbear answer but I'm just reading Lenin. I first encountered Lenin when I was an idealistic anarcho-kiddo and didn't appreciate his wisdom like I can now. Half way through Imperialism now, then State and Revolution is up next.
And I started Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy. Watched Blue and White so far, tonight will finish up with Red. Absolutely beautiful films! White had a nice, maybe unintentional, critique of Poland's experience of post-USSR shock therapy when you contrast it to Kieslowski's Communist-era Decalogue.
that sounds very nice you're really getting off to a good start!
